A Blueprint of a Future-Proof Payment and Billing Ecosystem
In this post, we explain the role and characteristics of a well-designed payment and billing ecosystem for software and digital content providers. Through modular structures, event-based integration and automation, companies can continuously innovate their pricing models, reduce internal costs and realize their full revenue potential. The independent subsystems of a future-proof billing system—Messaging & Notification, Sales Modeling & Processing, Payment Collection and Access Control—handle all relevant sales and billing processes efficiently and robustly. A well-implemented billing ecosystem is decoupled from the actual product, promotes independence from software providers and can be continuously developed further. Ultimately, a good billing system does not only ensure the processing of sales and revenue, but also enables companies to adapt to changes in the industry in order to guarantee sustainable success.
